Patent CA-2731351-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SIEGAL TZONY
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2009-07-27
Abstract: A device for removing material from within the body, includes an elongated element formed from hollow segments sequentially interconnected at effective hinges. The device assumes an insertion configuration for insertion of the segments se-quentially through an opening of a first dimension into the body. A portion of the elongated element inserted into the body pro-gressively assumes a material removing configuration in which a relative position of each segment relative to an adjacent segment is delineated by the effective hinge together with additional abutment surfaces defining a fully deflected state of the effective hinge. The material removing configuration has at least two dimensions exceeding the first dimension. At least two of the seg-ments are formed with at least one cutting configuration deployed so as to collect material into a hollow volume of the segment during progressive formation of the material removing configuration as the elongated element is advanced.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dispersion comprising at least metallic copper particles with gelatin provided on the surface thereof, a polymeric dispersant, and an organic solvent. The dispersion is produced by reducing copper oxide in an aqueous solvent in the presence of gelatin having an amine number and an acid number such that the difference therebetween (amine number - acid number) is 0 or less, then subjecting the reaction solution to solid-liquid separation, and then mixing the resultant metallic copper particles with gelatin provided on the surface thereof and a polymeric dispersant having an amine number and an acid number such that the difference therebetween (amine number - acid number) is 0 to 50, into an organic solvent.  The dispersion can maintain dispersion stability of the metallic copper particles for a long period of time, is suitable for inkjet printing and spray coating and can be used in the formation of microelectrodes and circuit wiring patterns, for ex-ample, in printed wiring boards, and design and decoration applications utilizing a metallic tone of the coating film.

The resulting current at the source S  contains a direct current portion I ds which is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the high frequency signal The operating frequency of said power detectors is limited to a few gigahertz (GHz) by the discrete arrangement and especially by the predetermined gate length of the field effect transistor The aim of the invention is to improve a resistive mixer in such a manner that it can be operated at high gigahertz and terahertz frequencies. For this purpose, the resistive mixer comprises a line which has a first and a second electrical conductor having respective connecting contacts so that an electrical high frequency signal can be coupled into the line, the first conductor having a plurality of series-connected voltage-dependent resistor elements (R) and at least one capacitive element (C) being interposed between the first and the second conductor.
